The global agricultural landscape is shifting, and the Asia-Pacific region is commanding center stage. According to the report ISAAA Brief 57: Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops in 2024, Asia has officially become a powerhouse, accounting for nearly 10% of global biotech crop plantings in 2024, with 20.81 million hectares under cultivation. Driven by nine pioneering countries, the region is demonstrating an aggressive growth trajectory. India leads the adoption with its global dominance in Bt cotton, while China accelerates commercial scale-up with massive regulatory approvals for GM maize and soybeans. Meanwhile, Australia has made history by granting the world's first approval for a disease-resistant GM banana alongside climate-resilient crop traits.
